PHIL 001M. Introduction to Philosophy: Free Thinkers

Thinking for yourself is both an essential feature of being human, but it’s also very hard to do. This course introduces students to philosophy by examining the question: how do we become free thinkers? We take a tour through the history of philosophy (considered from a global perspective) to see how different philosophers have tried to cultivate independent minds and to see how their strategies might help us become free thinkers.
